Beautifully balanced, fruity and complex with just enough gin to add a spirituous bite. We're indebted to Dale DeGroff for sharing this recipe, which he...
Before this I'd only had the fantastic Smuggler's Cove formula. The DeGroff recipe is slightly too tart and pineapple-forward to my taste, though still good. To compensate for this I would drop the pineapple juice to 1 shot and perhaps up the grenadine to a teaspoon or 1/4 shot.
This recipe is one I have come back to many times, delicious as it is. Trying tiny variants, I sometimes prefer the overt cherry fruitiness of De Kuyper Cherry Brandy, or a combination of that with Cherry Heering. Omitting the Bénédictine does not cause a massive change of flavour IMO and the final colour is more attractively pink, but purists will lament a depth of flavour lost. Today, I also tried with half lime, half lemon juice. It lost its poignancy so I recommend to keep with all lime juic
Most definitely one of the best Singapore Slings I've tried and one I am sure to make again in the future. Thanks Dale, you have come up with a killer combination.
